Katsina lifts ban on night use of motorcycles
The Katsina State government has temporarily lifted the ban on the use of motorcycles at night.
Governor Aminu Masari banned the use of motorcycles at night early this year over the security challenges in the state.
He lifted the ban during the Ramadan period to enable the Islamic faithful to observe the period without hindrance and re-imposed it after the Eid-el-Fitr celebration.
The Director-General of New Media to the Governor, Malam Al-Amin Isah, confirmed the development in a statement on Saturday in Katsina.

“The suspension ends on November 20. Members of the public are enjoined to be law-abiding during the suspension of the ban.
“Members of the public are also advised to be vigilant and to assist security agencies in enhancing peace and security in the state.”
